Set on a lush, private peninsula that’s surrounded by the Emerald Coast’s green waters, Awasi Santa Catarina is where refined comfort softens into nature’s embrace. Sheltered by a tranquil bay, Santa Catarina overlooks the Três Ilhas archipelago and invites moments of nautical bliss and serenity to overtake every moment. This former Ponta dos Ganchos retreat is only fifty kilometres from Florianópolis in Brazil.
Yet, its small coves and Atlantic Forest barrier make it seem far-flung from the real world. Elegant villas open onto sparkling ocean views, private heated pools and sun-warmed decks. Here, wellness unfolds gently, with some villas housing a sauna and a gym. Indulge in anything from immersive spa rituals and yoga sessions to functional, nourishing cuisine and adventure-filled experiences. With a private guide tailoring each experience, discover coveted spots like Sissal beach, the Arvoredo marine biological reserve, Atlantic Forest paths, and the true Azorean coastal heritage, all at your own pace. Awasi Santa Catarina is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Brazil to stay at during your visit.
